I'm swimming to contribute to mental health support services
- This is my third year diving
- in for youth mental health
Swimming has always been important to my mental health, and since my husband David’s bike accident on January 12th, even more important. I know a few people who have mental health issues and I have participated in this swimming fund raiser twice before. I think it is worth supporting. It also provides me with a focus to swim im March (which I do anyway!) fitted around Davids hospital and rehab visits. I am very aware of the need to support and help pelple deal with a challenging world. I would be most grateful if you could consider donating - I might swim more than 20km but am committing to this distance.
Also, through this charity, I now know that suicide is the leading cause of death for young people in Australia - more young people die by suicide than in car accidents or from cancer. So this March, I'm swimming to make sure young people in Australia have the mental health support they urgently need.
All funds raised will help young people feel better about today and the future, no matter what challenge they're facing. Thanks for considering!!
